The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindnessby Michelle Alexander

Wednesdays May 3-June 28 10:30 am-12 pm

Louisiana has the highest incarceration rate in the nation, yet are we any safer? Criminals experience many forms of discrimination and today, blacks are five times more likely to be incarcerated
than whites. If you are troubled by racial injustice, now is the time to join this conversation. Inspired by reading The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle
Alexander, we will expand our consciousness and explore positive steps to make criminal justice reform a reality.

Join us for a quiet time of exploration and meditation. Guided meditation leads into a period of silence, a time to quiet the mind and release stress. Some instruction offered as we deepen our
practice.

* The first Wednesday of each month is a time for contemplative coloring with calming music.

Facilitated by Wendy Herschman, who enjoys sharing the joy of group meditation.

Discover more about yourself as you learn to work with your dreams. The language of dreams offers valuable insights into understanding your relationships, your choices, your past and your
future. Basic elements of Carl Jung’s work are a part of this exploration. While studying and sharing dreams, we learn ways to interpret and understand them in a meaningful way.

Find inspiration on this journey that opens the heart to the ideas of diverse spiritual teachers. Share in discussions that enrich your life on a deep, personal level. Return each week for
spiritual connection and community.

Together we will explore guided meditation and share our experience, strength and hope toward living a Sober Life.

A Spiritual Retreat with Meghan Don: A Vision of Hope and GoodnessFriday May 19 7-9 pm

Saturday May 20 10 am-5 pm

Sunday May 21 10:30 am-12 pm

When our world is going through dark times, it is essential that we maintain or re-envision a world where hope is alive and where the goodness of humanity is remembered and lived. As always, our
beginning place is within our own soul.

During this retreat we will ask ourselves very honest questions and dig deep for answers. Drawing forth the wisdom of the Gnostic feminine teachings, and making it relevant for our lives
today, we will enter into spiritual dialogue, in-depth meditation, ancient feminine chant and sacred movement.

Sunday Morning - Gnostic Grace Circle Service

Celebrate the union of the feminine and masculine energies, within our own beings and within the world. We will invoke the Archangels of the Sacred Circle and join in chant and prayer.

Facilitated by Meghan Don, author of The New Divine Feminine. Originally from New Zealand,
Meghan has traveled the world in search of her spiritual truth. As founder of The Gnostic Grace Circle, her work with mystic meditation, dance and chant helps to raise the feminine
consciousness.

With an emphasis on avoidance and peaceful conflict resolution, discover the core of
self-defense: the self. Focusing on awareness, safety and empowerment, build your confidence by learning techniques to avoid being vulnerable. Learn how to evade physical danger, set verbal
boundaries, create a safe space and maintain control in potentially dangerous situations. This class consists of hands-on, practical techniques as well as mental/meditative training. Concentric
circles of personal safety will be taught to empower you in all situations.

Facilitated by Neil Melancon who has taught self-defense classes since 1992 and is an active martial artist in Baton Rouge. Neil studied under the late Rebecca Sexton sensei.
